Hey guys I just started up 5873 I been driving it everyday for the past 6months straight and all of a sudden it started making a loud hissing noise it seems**** to be coming near/ around the fuel distributor on the left side, im assuming its a vacuum leak, I don't really smell any odors of any kind, is there a hose in particular that it could be? Any help would be awesome thanks!

Maybe post some pics of your vacuum hoses around that area?
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

Vacuum leak. Check the vacuum hoses in the area and the plumbing going to and from the idle motor. Also make sure the plug is over the mixture screw.

Brandon,
I recently had the exact same thing happening with #16128. Eventually, with assistance at my last tech session, we found a poor mating surface at the W pipe. Removed, cleaned, re-installed and all was well. Hope yours will be as easy as that. It improved my MPG by a couple of gallons/mile as well. Good luck! Fixed that brake booster yet?
